Hi guys, my name is Oliver and I am a complete noob when it comes to rotaries. Well i joined the forum to learn about them and to possibly pick one up. I live in Riverside and will most likely go to some of the meets in the area once I pick up a car.

So in other news, while most of you are at sevenstock I will hopefully be test driving and buying a 1979 rx-7. Wish me luck.

Well I test drove the car and its amazing. Driver's seat is torn bad, passenger seat is in awesome condition. No stereo or speakers and the paint is oxidized. But I still bought it cuz I fell in love with the feel. I will post pictures later today.

I realized while driving that my steering column moves up and down. I spoke to my friend and he said something about a bushing or bearing but I haven't been able to find any info on the steering. I fail at life right now.

Nice, I used to live in Orange County. We should hang out when you pick up your car.

Thanks man. I might hit you up about your friend's shop. What's it called and where is it located?
